I always look forward to your episodes. I love your format talking about finished objects and works in progress. I look up the patterns and add them to my list to purchase. I watched one of your shows and Jonna mentioned that it was ok to change our minds about plans for yarn. I am like Kim and have all of my projects in bags with the pattern set but have changed plans in the past to make something different. It always works out.! I just finished a Vanilla Sweater and starting on my Suolaulu Sweater both made of Rauma Garn Finull. I have to say that after watching your wonderful show about the Ranunculus that it is now on the top of my list to place on needle next. I am a full time working single mom, lucky enough to have my multigenerational family home so there are days when I have a break from work I can dedicate to my knitting. Knitting is my resort in my mind as well as my mountain to climb and I enjoy your excitement and passion as well.
Thank you for your very sweet comment. We're so grateful for such lovely viewers. We both live in multigenerational houses! So glad that you get some knitting time for yourself. 💕
Thanks for showing all the lovely knits 🧶 , you are ploughing through them so quickly! So many new ideas! I was gifted with a few row counter chains, made by my kids themselves….its my most used tool, love them. Have a great trip both of you 🌟
Wow, what a great episode! I’m so inspired by the projects you both create. The Rota really makes me want to make a summer tee, the gorgeous Decision Cardigan makes me want to knit cables, and the Anker sweater makes me want to make one for my granddaughter. Also, listening to Kim talk about her upcoming trip to Italy makes me want to go back there again! What a great trip that will be. Thanks for providing another enjoyable knitting chat 😉
Loved your knits, your WIPs, your acquisitions, and your future knits. As always you make me want to knit while I watch. I have had the yarn for 2 years for the Weekender, but I’m afraid of the cast on! I will eventually try it. My birthday is June 2, so Kim. We are pretty close. Jonna have a wonderful trip to Texas. Kim enjoy Italy! Looking forward to your next podcast! ❤
I am totally in love with the Irene Lin sweater! Your attitude towards the brioche gave me the guts to try it. Im an adventurous beginner so im nervous but yours is so beautiful!
I always love your posts. Kim, I hope you have a great time in Italy. I still have fond memories from travel there...over 50 years ago. That's nothing in Italian terms...Safe travels!
The rainbow sweater for your granddaughter is beautiful. You can tell her that the meaning of the rainbow was God's promise to Noah and the ark was that He would never flood the earth again Genesis 9.
Another great episode! I am totally sold on the Rota it looks gorgeous on you Jonna and the decision Cardigan looks store bought ! Great to see that both of you are feeling better and will enjoy some fun times!
I purchased the knitters planner last year and I am older, no job, no kiddos etc., so I have no goals to speak of except learning a new technique. What I ended up doing was using a lot of whiteout and covering up all the goal things, dates of the week on those pages, etc. So now I have a blank canvas and I can use the boxes or other areas for what I want to track or talk about. The monthly tracker thing I use for tracking projects or packages from orders. So it's a mini view of my month. On the grid paper I usually check in a few times a month and add in notes about what I've been doing. All this to say those planners you have coming can be modified for the coming year by covering the dates on the monthly part and weekly pages. I only use one page of the grid for each month. I also purchased the binder rather than the spiral so I can move pages around. I needed a planner for everything in one spot and this is how I get full use of it. My only wish is that it came with no headers or questions to answer but keeps all the boxes and other areas. On the back of the month page are boxes - I use these for stapling my ball bands and writing what I am making with them, or dream knits. Thanks for another awesome video! I have so many patterns I want to knit now!
Wow! So many amazing ideas, modifications, and suggestions! I love mine, but there are many pages I don't use at all. I'll have to think about using them in a different way just like you do... ❤️ Kim
So enjoyed catching up with you both today ... fun. Love listening to you both discuss the patterns and Wools chosen for projects along with the life stories. I always knit along with you in Kettering in England
Thank you knittingfriends for a great and joyful episod and thank you for keeping me company while knitting. On my needles, Cumulus mohair edition. Greetings from Gotland Sweden.
One of my favourite tops is Ankers Tee. I have made the top, then modified to a fingering long sleeve, another warmer Dk long sleeve….and A modified long sleeve worsted. The cardigan for your granddaughter is lovely 😊!
Thanks Kim and Jonna for a fun podcast. The projects both of you finished and your wips are lovely. I used Zauberball in the Shift cowl by Andrea Mowry and it looked great. Italy ❤❤❤, a favourite place, but have never got to Texas, sorry Jonna!
OMG! I just started watching episode 19 and cannot believe you mentioned me and my visit! I traveled to NYC from Monticeto, California and one day took the train out to Mt Kisco to visit Pick Up Every Stitch (where I purchase my yarn) and meet Felicia and Karen…… and to my surprise Kim was there!!!!! I absolutely loved! Talking to her and then she FaceTimed Jonna and I got to visit with her also. Honestly a highlight of my trip. I wanted to buy everything in the store; such gorgeous yarns….. I wanted to take Kim and Jonna and Felicia (Karen was not there that day;( ) and pack them in my suitcase and take them home with me. ❤
Haha! Yay, Betty! It was so fun to meet you and of course we had to talk about it. I really hope we can plan a trip out to California to knit with you and your knitting group!!! 😘 Kim
Thank you for the new gadgets, row counter and clips. Making the seasons cardigan with Noro- need the clips for this sweater. With the zauber ball yarn I would recommend knitting the autumn fusion shawl it is sooo beautiful.
Love the Rota Top and I’m always interested to hear what you think of various yarns. It’s hard to pick out yarns on line when I’ve never seen them in person. I’ve used an old toggle as a stop for my barber cords instead of a knot or especially when the stitches might slip off. Already looking forward to hearing about both of your trips!
Good for you for using metric. Most of the world is on it as it’s more accurate than imperial measurements. Thanks for sharing your wonderful content…so inspiring. ❤
So many lovely knits,,,too little time! Kim so genuine you say to Jonna in the final clips..."I love hanging out with you". Your viewers love hanging out with both of you. Kim have a great trip...bring back tons of information for us all. Jonna, enjoy your Mother's Day trip as well. Safe travels!
Several years ago I found a spiral bound hardback notebook in the street at my workplace. I snatched it up and saw that most of the pages were clean, but "Abigail" had drawn and scribbled (mostly in purple crayon) on lots of the pages. It tickles me when I come to some of her artwork. Gee, she's probably a teenager now...wherever she is! Thanks for the knitting journal, Abigail!
Hi Debbie, Awwwww... such a sweet memory and story. Wouldn't it be amazing if you met Abigail someday? Or maybe your imaginings of her are even better. 🥰 Kim
Awe! Kim, those beautiful drawings from your granddaughter make me smile. When my son was a toddler, I decided to go back to school (I'm an engineer now) but I remember so many times I'd have pages and pages of calculations and every so often I'd get this perfect little picture from him or a darling and very sloppy "I luv u mom" ALL over my paper. They always warmed my heart so much, even if it meant I had to redo pages and pages of work. He's 11 now and I still find his toddler drawings and scribbles in old books to this day. lol. Children are the absolute greatest joy. I love that you treasure their misplaced art rather than allowing it to upset you. As a grandmother, I'm sure you understand much more than I do how quickly they grow and how precious little things like that can be. Sending you both so much love from the midwest! 💛
I'm so happy you enjoyed my granddaughter's drawing. 😊 It's always tempting to want to keep my Knitter's Planner pristine, but I always remind myself that life is short, it's just paper, my granddaughter will soon grow out of this stage and I'll miss it, and if it keeps her busy now, then GREAT! 🤣❤️😘 Kim
❤❤ every episode!! So many beautiful FO’s and inspiration for new WIP’s. I just finished catching up from the very beginning. Thank you, Kim & Jonna, for sharing your knitting passions! Im hooked!!💕
Beautiful Rota top and the Decisions cardigan is gorgeous, so well done with the disappearing decreases down the sleeves and the lovely edges. I LOVE those row counters too, and they are so pretty!
Oh my goodness that was fun (always is) happy birthday Kim 💖💕 love the sparkles ✨ your cardigan looks so good. Cast on in church made me giggle. The retreat will be so wonderful. That baby yak 💕 and the silk 💖 Thanks for the nice words Jonna 🥰 I wear my Rita with just a bra - my area is very casual thank goodness, it was lovely and cool. I’ve made the Faye summer top it’s quite fun too. I’ve used lovetand, love it, and I’ve got Antigone - in that colour too!! Bought the sunset cami by Sari Norlund. Droplet capelet is so good. Omg stop… Saturday shrug is going to come my way, I’ve been same as you Jonna but Leslie Friend had a beauty and then seeing yours finished and your great reviews I need to get on it 😉😆 too many things. I’ve just started a lovely test knit, lace all over double stranded mohair and it’s so joyful. I need to give up work 🤭 So much fabulousness I could write pages 🤭 but thanks for the joy 🥰
Thank you so much for the sweet note! I think the Antigone will be for the Kuutar Top. Yesterday, I bought Isager Trio 2 in white for the Joni by Natasja Hornby. The Sunset Cami will look great on you! Can’t wait to see it. After filming, I wish I had worn something else under the Rota, so that the texture was more visible! Oh well. Have a lovely weekend! xoxo
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Hi Jonna, I used Antigone for the Kuutar top, it’s so good. Squeezed it out of 2 balls but had to do the hem with an I-cord edge as I only had 2 balls. It’s so lovely when washed and I scrunch it up after it’s dried to soften it, love this yarn. Happy knitting 🥰
Today, while I watch this podcast, I am adding some length to my Cumulous, also used Knit for Olive pure silk. After wearing it a couple of times, I realized I would like a couple of more inches in the length so i undid the i cord. I think it will be worth my time. You mentioned making the i cord a bit looser, so I will try to do that too.
So cute to hear Bertie through the video. I love Kim’s cable cardigan… it looks so elegant and the yarn from your favorite things is stunning. Jonna’s sweater is looking so pretty, looking forward to see how it looks on you ❤
Thanks for another fun episode. That Anker's Jacket for Jonna's grandaugher is just the cutest knit I've seen in a long time 🤩 I'm feeling more than a wee bit jealous of Kim's Italy trip. Have the best time. Looking forward to hearing lots about it.
Always enjoy your podcast❤ Thank you for all your knitting expertise, all the tips and tricks! I wish I could knit faster to make all the things… Happy Birthday Kim, can’t wait to have you share your trip to Italy! Jonna, your beautiful Rota top is lovely on you!
Thank you, Kim, for finally explaining how the Twice Sheared Sheep row counter works! I’ve been looking at it for years and never understood why it was helpful. Now I get it!!
You both have nice and safe trips. I was considering to go to Italy for this Joji locatelli event, but then decided to not go. If I had known that you,Kim,we’re coming I would have gone too .can’t wait to hear about it.
Happy Birthday Kim, love your sparkly shirt. I love to wear linen knits in summer, it took me more than one try to get the hang of knitting with linen and now I love to knit with linen. My favorite linen is from Quince and Co, "sparrow"finger weight. I think I want to try the silk yarn that you are making a t shirt from. Love the Decision Sweater, the cables so lovely. Bertie is so cute, and it rained here all morning and now sunshine and I loved the rainstorm you guys had. Love to watch you guys and listen to your sharing.
I just loved hearing Bertie in the background. And Johnna, I’ve placed your top in my favorites. Fits you great! As soon as I’m finished with this test knit, I’ll cast on my weekender, to knit along with you, Kim. What a joke! You’ll be done in no time, but at least I will have cast mine on. Then Kim picked up Bertie and I almost teared up with joy! How do those frito toed, bum wagging, snaggle nosed, heavy breathers capture our hearts like that!?!? Love you guys and your podcasts!
Kim! How amazing to go to Italy, and also to meet Joji❤ I hope you’ll enjoy her patterns, I’ve test knitted some garments for her, and I love her design. Have a lovely trip/Gute Reise!( I wonder if you can talk some German there? ) Hugs! Lotte from Sweden
I ❤love you ladies! Your so fun and sweet! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful makes with us! 🤗 Kim, I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy and Jonna I hope you enjoy your time with your family!! 🤗
Thanks for another great episode. When knitting a tubular cast-on, I size down 2 needle sizes. Otherwise, it's too big. This was recommended in a couple of videos I watched. As soon as you switch to the ribbing, switch to your intended needle size.
Happy Belated Birthday wishes Kim! Your “sparkle Shirt” is great! Another great episode. Also, I never really explored how those row counters work-thanks so much for the explanation. Very helpful. Have a wonderful time in Italy. Jonna, love your new top. Very nice.
Awe, so nice to meet you both at Pick Up Every Stitch! Love the podcast. There’s such great knitting inspiration in every episode. Thanks for the shout-out!
Another fun episode! I watched while knitting in the shade on my deck. Somehow it almost feels like a knit-night with my friends! Love to hear about the patterns you choose. I am almost the last knitter standing who hasn't made a Ranunculus....but it's on my to do list along with an Anker's Summer Shirt. Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy Italy Kim. Can't wait to hear about it.
Love the Portuguese purl! I'm an English knitter, but love how it lets me rest my hand every other row when knitting flat. I thought it was my secret LOL.
And all of a sudden I catch up on your long list of videos, l’m in real time 😳🤪 As you Kim said about the German podcast… “I feel as though I know her…” That’s how I feel about you, your my two new besties. 😉👍🏼 Really enjoy watching you two while I’m knitting❣️ Having CZcams on my TV, which is perfect. Am a knitting cabdriver from Sweden, my nickname means taxi/cab needles
Yay for knitting retreats! Have the best time in Italy, Kim. I'm going on a retreat with Joji (and Olga Buraya-Kefelian) in October. Can't wait to hear how Italy is!
Great episode. Now I want to knit the Rota I’ll see if I can find similar yarn locally, Southern CA before I buy on line. Heading to a workshop about fitting your knitted garments by someone from Trendsetter. Hope it’s good.
I love Twice Sheared Sheep I just got the cable locks and have been using their row counters for a few years now. I just love them! I love their little boxes. I got both of their “May the Fourth be with you” special boxes!! Just love them! So enjoyed the podcast!
I love Frenchies, I was laughing at all his noises! I made a Shifty sweater with Zauberballs. Loving Jonna’s tank and Kim’s Decision cardigan, two more for the queue ❤
Pocatello Idaho is only 90 miles from my home! So glad you guys showed the counters😍 this is the second podcast I’ve watched! Love it, you guys do a great job :-)
Kim, I've been wanting to try the Zauberballs, too. Have you seen them in Andrea Mowry's Metamorphic? It looks like the Zauberball is worked every other row, alternating with a complementary solid color yarn. Even if you don't have enough yardage for a full sweater, the concept would be cool in a yoke.
Is Bertie a Frenchie? He's adorable! I was at PUES one day when he was there. Fun episode! I have the same problem -- more patterns added to my queue. :D. I have some Knitting for Olive pure silk I bought from PUES and keep waffling about what to knit with it. Now I'm wondering -- Cumulus Tee? Ranunculus? Droplet Cape? Hmmmm. Have to go check out the Twice Sheared Sheep now!
Kim’s birthday must be close to mine because last week was my birthday week too. I hope you had a wonderful birthday week🎉. This was a great episode I really enjoyed it. Thank you both❤
Another wonderful, enjoyable episode, ladies! I always learn a ton. I have a question if you don't mind helping me out, Jonna... when you knit the Saturday shrug with the Paton's Worsted, did you also use a strand of mohair held together with it? I tried looking at your project notes, but it seems you used it alone? If so, did you get gauge or didn't it matter? Because of your decision to use the Paton's, I decided to knit a Saturday Shrug, too. I really like the Paton's, btw. It's a nice, bouncy, sturdy worsted that wears really well and is pretty soft to the skin. Not a bad deal for such a reasonably priced commercial yarn. It's an old Canadian company. Anyway, if you could help me out with my questions, I'd be most grateful. Oh - and because of you, I'm looking into Portuguese purling because I think it could solve another problem for me. Thank you!!! :-)
Hi Judy! I did use mohair with the Patons. I had lost the ball bands, so I didn’t put it in Ravelry. I’ll add it to the notes. I didn’t check my gauge 😳 lol!! I’ve been wearing it on these cool summer evenings, outside. I’m really happy with mine! Happy Knitting. 💕 Oh, and interested to hear about your Portuguese knitting experience. It’s really helpful for those long purl rows.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Thank you so much! And , btw, another way that's really helpful for long purl rows - but only if the knitting is flat and there aren't any selvedge stitches or increases/decreases at the beginning or end of the row - knitting backwards. Really works and so easy to do. I'd be interested to know if you try it and what you think of the method.
Hi! Jonna learned to knit from her grandmother who knit Continental style. Also, coming from crochet, it's an easier transition to tension the yarn in your left hand. Kim learned to knit in German-speaking Austria where they also knit Continental. 💕 So, less of a preference and more of a "that's how we learned".
I always look forward to your episodes. I love your format talking about finished objects and works in progress. I look up the patterns and add them to my list to purchase. I watched one of your shows and Jonna mentioned that it was ok to change our minds about plans for yarn. I am like Kim and have all of my projects in bags with the pattern set but have changed plans in the past to make something different. It always works out.! I just finished a Vanilla Sweater and starting on my Suolaulu Sweater both made of Rauma Garn Finull. I have to say that after watching your wonderful show about the Ranunculus that it is now on the top of my list to place on needle next. I am a full time working single mom, lucky enough to have my multigenerational family home so there are days when I have a break from work I can dedicate to my knitting. Knitting is my resort in my mind as well as my mountain to climb and I enjoy your excitement and passion as well.
Thank you for your very sweet comment. We're so grateful for such lovely viewers. We both live in multigenerational houses! So glad that you get some knitting time for yourself. 💕
Thanks for showing all the lovely knits 🧶 , you are ploughing through them so quickly! So many new ideas! I was gifted with a few row counter chains, made by my kids themselves….its my most used tool, love them. Have a great trip both of you 🌟
I love when we get to see pets in non-pet-related podcasts 😊 it adds a bit of hygge vibe 😍
Wow, what a great episode! I’m so inspired by the projects you both create. The Rota really makes me want to make a summer tee, the gorgeous Decision Cardigan makes me want to knit cables, and the Anker sweater makes me want to make one for my granddaughter. Also, listening to Kim talk about her upcoming trip to Italy makes me want to go back there again! What a great trip that will be. Thanks for providing another enjoyable knitting chat 😉
😀
I was with a group of about 20 ladies from a knit/quilt shop that stay in a bnb for Rhinebeck before the pandemic. We had so much fun. We stay 4 days.
Beautiful projects!
Have a wonderful time on your upcoming trips!!
Jonna looks beautiful on her Rota Sleevesless Top💙 and Kim your Decision Cardigan is a Masterpiece 🤍
Thank you 💕💙
Loved your knits, your WIPs, your acquisitions, and your future knits. As always you make me want to knit while I watch. I have had the yarn for 2 years for the Weekender, but I’m afraid of the cast on! I will eventually try it. My birthday is June 2, so Kim. We are pretty close. Jonna have a wonderful trip to Texas. Kim enjoy Italy! Looking forward to your next podcast! ❤
Thank you so much!
YES to Cable 3 from Italy! We can live vicariously through you lol😊
What a lovely podcast. I'm so happy that a few weeks ago I came across your podcasts I just love them so much. You both make it so much fun. xxx
Thank you 💕
I am totally in love with the Irene Lin sweater! Your attitude towards the brioche gave me the guts to try it. Im an adventurous beginner so im nervous but yours is so beautiful!
You can do it!
Thanks for a great show. You are my company while I knit
I always love your posts. Kim, I hope you have a great time in Italy. I still have fond memories from travel there...over 50 years ago. That's nothing in Italian terms...Safe travels!
The rainbow sweater for your granddaughter is beautiful. You can tell her that the meaning of the rainbow was God's promise to Noah and the ark was that He would never flood the earth again Genesis 9.
I will tell her! I had to rip it back to the sleeve separation because it was going to be small. It was worth it. Just knitting the rainbow. 🌸
❤
Another great episode! I am totally sold on the Rota it looks gorgeous on you Jonna and the decision Cardigan looks store bought ! Great to see that both of you are feeling better and will enjoy some fun times!
Thank you, Mercedes!! Feeling much better.
I love that your grandchildren draw pictures in your Knitter’s Planner. That would bring me joy as well. 😊

Thank you knittingfriends for a great and joyful episod and thank you for keeping me company while knitting. On my needles, Cumulus mohair edition.
Greetings from Gotland Sweden.
Thank you 💕 the Cumulus Mohair edition is on our lists, too.
I want all of the different yarns and all of the sweaters! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
After watching Helle, from Danish Musings, Jonna felt the same and promptly went to Pick Up Every Stitch to buy yarn. 🤣
Happy birthday, Kim.
One of my favourite tops is Ankers Tee. I have made the top, then modified to a fingering long sleeve, another warmer Dk long sleeve….and A modified long sleeve worsted.
The cardigan for your granddaughter is lovely 😊!
I (Jonna) would love to make an Ankers Tee for myself!
Happy Birthday, Kim!

There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's mimicking Abraham Lincoln and he says "look me up at my Gettysburg address". 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the new gadgets, row counter and clips. Making the seasons cardigan with Noro- need the clips for this sweater.
With the zauber ball yarn I would recommend knitting the autumn fusion shawl it is sooo beautiful.
Hi Dana,
You're so welcome, and thank you so much for watching and commenting! I will definitely look up the Autumn Fusion Shawl! ❤️ Kim

I just found your podcast and love it so much! Thank you for providing this! I loved Jonna striped shrug. I plan to make one!
Thank you 💕💕💕

You ladies are always awesome, thank you for sharing everything. Kim good luck with your trip to Italy.
My fav TSS gadget is the increase/decrease markers!
We need them all!
I always use the Portuguese purl for large areas 😊 and if I do ribbing, I use the Norwegian purl. Both game changers for a crocheter turned knitter 😁😁
❤❤ every episode!! So many beautiful FO’s and inspiration for new WIP’s. I just finished catching up from the very beginning. Thank you, Kim & Jonna, for sharing your knitting passions! Im hooked!!💕

So cute to hear Bertie through the video. I love Kim’s cable cardigan… it looks so elegant and the yarn from your favorite things is stunning. Jonna’s sweater is looking so pretty, looking forward to see how it looks on you ❤
We're so glad no one minded Bertie's snorting!!
Thanks for another fun episode. That Anker's Jacket for Jonna's grandaugher is just the cutest knit I've seen in a long time 🤩 I'm feeling more than a wee bit jealous of Kim's Italy trip. Have the best time. Looking forward to hearing lots about it.
Thank you and SAME!!! 😬
Thank you for another excellent video. Very entertaining and informative.
Love watching you both from Kettering in England
Always enjoy your podcast❤ Thank you for all your knitting expertise, all the tips and tricks! I wish I could knit faster to make all the things…
Happy Birthday Kim, can’t wait to have you share your trip to Italy! Jonna, your beautiful Rota top is lovely on you!
Thank you, Kim, for finally explaining how the Twice Sheared Sheep row counter works! I’ve been looking at it for years and never understood why it was helpful. Now I get it!!
You're welcome! They have several kinds. Some for knitting flat, another for knitting ITR, and a short one for short repeats. So handy!
You are the best!!! Love from Lisbon 🥰 💗 💕 💓
You both have nice and safe trips. I was considering to go to Italy for this Joji locatelli event, but then decided to not go. If I had known that you,Kim,we’re coming I would have gone too .can’t wait to hear about it.
Happy Belated Birthday Kim🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 😘 Kim
Your episodes are always so fun. Love all your finished objects, wips, and dream knits. Can't wait til next time. Happy knitting ❤️🧶
Happy Birthday Kim, love your sparkly shirt. I love to wear linen knits in summer, it took me more than one try to get the hang of knitting with linen and now I love to knit with linen. My favorite linen is from Quince and Co, "sparrow"finger weight. I think I want to try the silk yarn that you are making a t shirt from. Love the Decision Sweater, the cables so lovely. Bertie is so cute, and it rained here all morning and now sunshine and I loved the rainstorm you guys had. Love to watch you guys and listen to your sharing.
Thank you 💕 we’ve heard the same about “sparrow”.
Great podcast. You get on so well and it makes for a relaxing watch. Love all the knitting and yarn. 🇬🇧
I just loved hearing Bertie in the background. And Johnna, I’ve placed your top in my favorites. Fits you great! As soon as I’m finished with this test knit, I’ll cast on my weekender, to knit along with you, Kim. What a joke! You’ll be done in no time, but at least I will have cast mine on. Then Kim picked up Bertie and I almost teared up with joy! How do those frito toed, bum wagging, snaggle nosed, heavy breathers capture our hearts like that!?!? Love you guys and your podcasts!
So funny!! He made more noises than we expected 🤣 and guess what?? Kim has finished her Weekender! 😳
Kim! How amazing to go to Italy, and also to meet Joji❤ I hope you’ll enjoy her patterns, I’ve test knitted some garments for her, and I love her design. Have a lovely trip/Gute Reise!( I wonder if you can talk some German there? )
Hugs! Lotte from Sweden
Hallo Lotte!
Ich hoffe, dass ich dort etwas Deutsch sprechen kann, und ich kann es kaum erwarten Joji kennenzulernen!!! ❤️ Kim
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Ich freue mich für dich! Alles gutes und gute Reise 🥰(I Hope I got the words almost right..🤭)
@@madeofyarnpodcast Looks right to me! 😂
I ❤love you ladies! Your so fun and sweet! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful makes with us! 🤗 Kim, I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy and Jonna I hope you enjoy your time with your family!! 🤗
Thank you 💕
Thanks for another great episode. When knitting a tubular cast-on, I size down 2 needle sizes. Otherwise, it's too big. This was recommended in a couple of videos I watched. As soon as you switch to the ribbing, switch to your intended needle size.
Agreed!
What a wonderful episode…thank you so much! I now have even more patterns waiting in my queue to knit…🤣😂🤣🧶💗
LOL!
Happy Belated Birthday wishes Kim! Your “sparkle Shirt” is great! Another great episode. Also, I never really explored how those row counters work-thanks so much for the explanation. Very helpful. Have a wonderful time in Italy. Jonna, love your new top. Very nice.
Thank you 🌸
Awe, so nice to meet you both at Pick Up Every Stitch! Love the podcast. There’s such great knitting inspiration in every episode. Thanks for the shout-out!
Hi Ronnie!!
Another fabulous podcast lovely Kim and Jonna! I love everything you knit!❤❤
Happy birthday Kim 🎉 and again a nice Video Ladys 😊 thank you- greetings from Germany
Always love watching what you’re both working on. It feels like you in my knitting group and we get to “catch up” with what you’ve been doing. 💚
Another fun episode! I watched while knitting in the shade on my deck. Somehow it almost feels like a knit-night with my friends! Love to hear about the patterns you choose. I am almost the last knitter standing who hasn't made a Ranunculus....but it's on my to do list along with an Anker's Summer Shirt. Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy Italy Kim. Can't wait to hear about it.
Love the Portuguese purl! I'm an English knitter, but love how it lets me rest my hand every other row when knitting flat. I thought it was my secret LOL.
😂
Another great show. Love all you knits. Your FOs are beautiful. Thanks again.
And all of a sudden I catch up on your long list of videos, l’m in real time 😳🤪
As you Kim said about the German podcast… “I feel as though I know her…”
That’s how I feel about you, your my two new besties.
😉👍🏼
Really enjoy watching you two while I’m knitting❣️
Having CZcams on my TV, which is perfect.
Am a knitting cabdriver from Sweden, my nickname means taxi/cab needles
Such a cool name! Thank you for sharing. 💕
Yay for knitting retreats! Have the best time in Italy, Kim. I'm going on a retreat with Joji (and Olga Buraya-Kefelian) in October. Can't wait to hear how Italy is!
Great episode. Now I want to knit the Rota I’ll see if I can find similar yarn locally, Southern CA before I buy on line. Heading to a workshop about fitting your knitted garments by someone from Trendsetter. Hope it’s good.
Have a great time! The Rota would be nice for your warm weather.
It was inspiring to be knitting a Shakerag Top and seeing one hanging in the background. Another wonderful episode.
It looks like a great knit!
Thank you ladies another wonderful podcast. Love your Myak purchases. Happy Birthday Kim enjoy Italy and the knitting retreat.
I love Twice Sheared Sheep I just got the cable locks and have been using their row counters for a few years now. I just love them! I love their little boxes. I got both of their “May the Fourth be with you” special boxes!! Just love them! So enjoyed the podcast!
🌸🌸🌸
Oh ladies, I truly love this episode. Bertie is adorable. Yes Zoom while we are scattered. Great idea.
We’ve narrowed it down to two dates, and will let you know asap. 💕
Loved everything! Have a great trip, both of you. ❤
I have 2 favourite podcasts and yours is one of them!! Always a pleasure.
Thank you!!
Enters as a caterpillar, exits as a moth🐛🦋
😆
Thank you Kim for the row marker suggestion. I have three sizes on order. 😊
Yay! And Jonna just told me that they have different versions for flat knitting and short repeats. I can't wait to try those too...
I've knitted the Hitchhiker shawl in cotton and I absolutely love it! It's not huge so you can wear it like a scarf.
I love Frenchies, I was laughing at all his noises! I made a Shifty sweater with Zauberballs. Loving Jonna’s tank and Kim’s Decision cardigan, two more for the queue ❤
We're so relieved that no one minded his grunting!!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna my grand dog is a Frenchie (Gigi) and her grunting is so funny 💕
Hi! Great episode …… I enjoy your style-scripted on not……keep it going! Karen from Gaithersburg
I’m knitting the Rota jumper in 100% cotton and loving the pattern!!! Definitely making the top next with the left over yarn ❤❤❤❤
I bet it’s lovely in cotton! I would wear mine every day if the weather would cooperate.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna it is lovely but a bit heavy 😅
Tag us on IG so we can see it when you're finished!
Pocatello Idaho is only 90 miles from my home! So glad you guys showed the counters😍 this is the second podcast I’ve watched! Love it, you guys do a great job :-)
Thank you 💕 and welcome 🌸
Thanks for another great episode…. Love catching up.
Just ordered the Row Counter(and some other goodies!). Thanks for the tip!
We hope you love them as much as we do.
I love the Twice Sheared Sheep tools! I even got their boxes. I been waiting to get the even and odd counters for flat knitting. Will use your link.
Thank you! We love them too!
I have a Zaurberball in almost the same colorway. I used part of it with make a Shiftalong cowl by Andrea Mowry along with 2 other solid color yarns.
Hi Patty,
I can't wait to knit with it!!! But I have so many projects in my queue that it will probably be a while before I can...
❤️😘 Kim
Kim, I've been wanting to try the Zauberballs, too. Have you seen them in Andrea Mowry's Metamorphic? It looks like the Zauberball is worked every other row, alternating with a complementary solid color yarn. Even if you don't have enough yardage for a full sweater, the concept would be cool in a yoke.
Hi Carmen!
I love my new Zauberball and I can't wait to knit with it! And no, I haven't seen the Metamorphic. I'll have to look it up... 😘 Kim
Is Bertie a Frenchie? He's adorable! I was at PUES one day when he was there. Fun episode! I have the same problem -- more patterns added to my queue. :D. I have some Knitting for Olive pure silk I bought from PUES and keep waffling about what to knit with it. Now I'm wondering -- Cumulus Tee? Ranunculus? Droplet Cape? Hmmmm. Have to go check out the Twice Sheared Sheep now!
💕 He is! And, he made more noises than we expected, LOL.
Very good for socks👍👍
Love the Rota top!
Jonna can’t wait to make a second one!
Kim’s birthday must be close to mine because last week was my birthday week too. I hope you had a wonderful birthday week🎉. This was a great episode I really enjoyed it. Thank you both❤
Happy Birthday!! Kim’s birthday is the 26th. 🌸
I'm making the Knus light and love it: always interesting due to the details
Can't wait to see yours!
Another wonderful, enjoyable episode, ladies! I always learn a ton. I have a question if you don't mind helping me out, Jonna... when you knit the Saturday shrug with the Paton's Worsted, did you also use a strand of mohair held together with it? I tried looking at your project notes, but it seems you used it alone? If so, did you get gauge or didn't it matter? Because of your decision to use the Paton's, I decided to knit a Saturday Shrug, too. I really like the Paton's, btw. It's a nice, bouncy, sturdy worsted that wears really well and is pretty soft to the skin. Not a bad deal for such a reasonably priced commercial yarn. It's an old Canadian company. Anyway, if you could help me out with my questions, I'd be most grateful. Oh - and because of you, I'm looking into Portuguese purling because I think it could solve another problem for me. Thank you!!! :-)
Hi Judy! I did use mohair with the Patons. I had lost the ball bands, so I didn’t put it in Ravelry. I’ll add it to the notes. I didn’t check my gauge 😳 lol!! I’ve been wearing it on these cool summer evenings, outside. I’m really happy with mine! Happy Knitting. 💕 Oh, and interested to hear about your Portuguese knitting experience. It’s really helpful for those long purl rows.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Thank you so much! And , btw, another way that's really helpful for long purl rows - but only if the knitting is flat and there aren't any selvedge stitches or increases/decreases at the beginning or end of the row - knitting backwards. Really works and so easy to do. I'd be interested to know if you try it and what you think of the method.
Beautiful sweaters! Love the background and Bertie too
Hi,
I love your channel!! I am curious why you both knit continental. If you would explain in an episode why you like continental over English.
Hi! Jonna learned to knit from her grandmother who knit Continental style. Also, coming from crochet, it's an easier transition to tension the yarn in your left hand.
Kim learned to knit in German-speaking Austria where they also knit Continental. 💕 So, less of a preference and more of a "that's how we learned".
Just get Addi needles they’re incredible❤❤❤❤
We would love to.
